Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from familiar problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
